Additional Manufacturer Narrative
H3, h6: the associated device was returned and evaluated.A visual inspection of the returned device finds the device returned with slight deformations at the edges, scuffing and scratching, more than likely from attempt of insertion.Additionally, the plastic is easily distorted when attempting to implant, especially when the mating surface that is rigid and harder than the plastic (e.G.Titanium, cocr, etc.).Surface finish damage (e.G.Dings, scratches, scuffs, rubs, etc.) and critical feature distortion (e.G.Warping, twisting, rupturing, etc.) are sufficient to alter the measurement(s) during evaluation.For this reason, no dimensional analysis will be conducted.If additional complaints for this batch are submitted, this file will be reviewed for trending purposes.A review of the production order did not reveal a manufacturing abnormality that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident.A review of complaint history for the part number over the past 12 months and for the batch number based on historical data of the device did not reveal similar events for the listed device.A review of the risk management file revealed this failure mode was previously identified.The anticipated risk level is still adequate.A historical review concluded that there are no prior actions related to this product and event.Based on the information provided, the unsatisfactory experience could be confirmed.At this time, we have no evidence to conclude that the product failed to meet any specifications at the time of manufacture.Factors that could contribute to the reported event include size selected or insertion technique.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Should additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.No further investigation is warranted for this complaint; however, we will continue to monitor for future complaints and investigate as necessary.We consider this investigation closed.
